Founder’s Ritual & Gift Edit
A few of you have been asking about my own winter routine, so I wanted to share the products I truly rely on this time of year and a couple of simple gifting ideas for anyone who wants to introduce someone to waterless skincare.
✨ Step 1: Melt the day away
I always double cleanse in the evenings.
First with Cleansing Oil to dissolve makeup and SPF, then with our Reviving Serum Cleanser to gently buff the skin with papaya enzymes and bamboo powder, no harsh scrubs needed. Paired with the Glow Resurfacing Mask, it’s my favourite glow ritual.
✨ Step 2: Restore glow
After cleansing, I prep with Biome Active Essence to keep my skin balanced.
In the mornings, I use Advanced Protective Serum for antioxidant-rich calm and daily protection, environmental stressors, blue light….
In the evenings, I switch to Active Radiance Serum to support gentle brightening and repair through winter. Twice weekly, I add the Glow Mask for an instant boost.
✨ Step 3: Nourish deeply
In the mornings, our Collagen Boosting Hydration Cream keeps my skin hydrated, plump and comfortable all day long.
At night, I finish with Vitamin Rich Face Butter, applied with a little face massage or face yoga and wake up glowing every time.
⸻
🎁 Gift Edit
A couple of thoughtful ideas for anyone wanting to treat themselves or someone they love:
Glow Resurfacing Mask + Organic Headband
A beautiful ritual that suits every skin type, instant brightness and zero harsh actives.
Active Radiance Serum
If I had to choose one product to introduce someone to Vemel, it would be this. Gentle, brightening and suitable for all skin types from hormonal and breakout-prone to dry, sensitive and everything in between.

With my birthday (and Vemel’s 6th anniversary 🥳🥰) fast approaching, I’ve been reflecting on the moment everything changed for me.
Many of you know that Vemel was born from a long wellness journey. I was navigating severe endometriosis, my son’s painful eczema, and my mum’s cancer diagnosis - three experiences that made me question everything we put on our skin and into our bodies.
I started formulating because I needed truly clean, toxin-free skincare… but I never expected what came next.
The day I created my first waterless face butter, I remember thinking:
“Oh… this is different. This actually works.”
My skin felt nourished, plump, alive and all from a simple, pure, waterless cream.
It was the moment I realised that skincare didn’t need to be diluted to be effective.
And from that day, formulating became the part of Vemel I love most.
Testing countless botanicals, discovering groundbreaking biotech actives, partnering with pioneering labs who spend years perfecting ingredients that protect the planet and transform the skin… it still feels like uncovering treasure every time.
From that very first face butter to our biotech-packed collagen formulas today, waterless skincare has shown me, and so many of you, what’s truly possible when every drop is active, potent, and purposeful.
Our awards and your beautiful reviews say more than I ever could.
And if you’re new here, a little reminder:
most skincare on the shelves is up to 80% water.
Once you experience waterless, you’ll never go back.

As the temperature drops, most of us instinctively reach for richer formulas… because suddenly our skin feels drier, greyer, slower… like it’s asking for help.
And this is usually the season when harsh actives take over bathroom cabinets.
A little retinol here, an acid there… all in the hope of bringing back that glow.
But winter skin doesn’t need punishment, it needs nourishment.
This is where Vemel does things differently.
We focus on proven, nature-derived actives that deliver radiance without compromising your already dehydrated barrier.
Bakuchiol for glow.
Algae bio-actives for brightness.
Fermented botanicals for resilience.
A waterless base for full potency.
No irritation.
No stripping.
Just skin that feels alive again.

Powered by nature’s brightest glow-givers ✨
Our Glow Resurfacing Mask blends the richness of seabuckthorn, the smoothing power of prickly pear, and the renewing touch of papaya enzymes to reveal that fresh, even, post-facial glow - minus the irritation.
A waterless, nutrient-dense gel like consistency that hydrates, brightens, calms and supports your skin barrier through the colder months.
Pure botanicals. Pure results. A November staple.

When winter starts to show on your skin, reach for the cleanser that does more than cleanse. 🤩
Our Reviving Serum Cleanser melts away impurities while restoring glow and softness, no tightness, no dryness, just skin that feels alive again. Enriched with niacinamide-rich algae, sea silt bioferment and cucumber oil, it nourishes as deeply as a serum while gently exfoliating with natural enzymes.
Because this time of year calls for comfort, even in your skincare. 🍂

Proof that less truly is more. A formula worth slowing down for, where science-led botanicals meet skin-deep nourishment.
Powered by natural actives like Collamung™ Ferment and Desert Date Oil, this award-winning cream delivers visible firmness and long-lasting hydration without a drop of synthetic fragrance. When we strip away the water and fillers, what’s left is pure performance natural actives that deliver visible results and long-term skin health.
Gentle enough for sensitive skin. Potent enough to transform it.
This is conscious glow, redefined.

Say what? Algae’s still one of the most powerful ingredients in skincare 🤎
They thrive in some of the planet’s most extreme environments from icy alpine lakes to wild coastal waters, building powerful self-protection systems to survive the changing seasons. Think antioxidant shields, deep hydration, and stress resilience. Exactly what your skin needs as the air turns crisp and the winds get cooler.
That’s why we love them so much this time of year.
Our Advanced Protective Serum is enriched with Organic Brown Algae and a sustainably cultivated, clinically tested Microalgae Complex that helps to:
🤎Strengthen the skin barrier
🤎Defend against oxidative stress
🤎Lock in lasting moisture
🤎Soothe sensitivity
As nature transitions, your skin can too, protecting, adapting, and flourishing with the right tools.

Why does our skin feel more sensitive in colder weather?
When temperatures drop, humidity drops too and so does your skin’s ability to retain moisture.
That’s when Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) increases, leaving skin feeling tighter, drier, and more reactive.
But the good news? You can strengthen your barrier and restore balance naturally. 💧
Biome Active Essence — powered by probiotics and algae bio-actives to reduce TEWL by 13% and boost moisture by 36% after 4 weeks.
Collagen Boosting Hydration Cream — locks in hydration with Collamung™ ferment and Desert Date Oil, improving elasticity and protecting against moisture loss.
Advanced Protective Serum — rich in marine algae and amaranth extract for a silky layer of lipid protection.
Vitamin Rich Face Butter — your night-time rescue for cold weather. Bursting with vitamins A, C, and E from mango and pomegranate, it deeply replenishes skin lipids while sealing in moisture overnight.
Cold weather shouldn’t mean compromised skin. Protect your barrier, naturally. ❄️💛

Powered by our signature microalgae complex, aloe vera and kiwi oils, this rich yet gentle balm restores elasticity, boosts collagen, and brings back that smooth, radiant look to delicate skin around the eyes and lips.

Every autumn, the same skincare advice starts circulating. But not all of it serves your skin. Let’s debunk three common myths and I’ll share the pro-ageing ritual I live by.
Myth 1: Pigmentation can only be corrected
Truth: Prevention matters here too.
Emerging research shows pigmentation isn’t just sun-related. It can also link to how your liver processes hormones and toxins. As your summer tan fades, pigmentation often appears darker by contrast, not necessarily worse. Reaching straight for harsh actives or lasers isn’t always the answer.
Agi’s tip
I take milk thistle to support my liver and my skin. By 40, dark patches covered my cheeks. Three years on, thanks to Advanced Protective Serum, Active Radiance Serum, and milk thistle, they’ve almost disappeared.
Myth 2: Post-summer skin needs a harsh reset
Truth: Harsh acids or strong resurfacing can weaken the barrier just when skin is most vulnerable. What it really needs is calm, balance, and gentle actives it recognises like probiotics, ferments, antioxidants.
Myth 3: The best treatments for dull autumn skin come from a clinic
Truth: The most effective treatment for tired, lacklustre skin is free - it’s sleep.
As autumn arrives, our energy dips and our glow fades. Sleep is your body’s natural reset. Supported with wellness-led, organic skincare, your barrier strengthens, collagen production rises, and that tired look softens into a fresher glow.
Agi’s ritual
I never skip my 8–9 hours. In autumn, I slow down with chamomile tea, a candle, and our Glow Resurfacing Mask, screens off. The simplest way to wake up brighter, even as the days get darker.

Back in 2019, our Daily Moisturising Face Butter was the very first Vemel formula. Today, it’s still one of our bestsellers! Loved as a daily go-to by all skin types, from teens and men to oily, combination, and even more balanced skin.
When we started, no one was talking about waterless moisturisers. Even now, few brands dare to step away from water-based formulas, their profit spreadsheets simply wouldn’t allow it. But for us, waterless means something else entirely: higher concentrations of actives, real results, and skincare that’s truly worth your investment.

As autumn sets in, our skin naturally craves a little extra love. Cold winds and cosy knits may feel comforting, but they often leave our skin dry and in need of deep replenishment.

As the seasons change, so does our skin. Cooler days mean thirstier skin, and after a summer of sunshine, many of us notice dullness or pigmentation beginning to appear. It’s the classic post-summer paradox: while warm days gave us a glow, they can also leave behind uneven tone, dark spots, and a more fragile barrier.
The instinct for many is to reach for heavy creams as the weather cools. But what if, instead of simply layering on thickness, autumn became the season of treatments? The powerful yet gentle heroes that sit between your cleansing and moisturising steps making your entire routine work harder.
The Treatment Heroes Line-Up
1. Biome Active Essence
Your foundation for every step that follows. This probiotic-rich mist strengthens the skin barrier while delivering lightweight hydration. Think of it as priming your skin to drink in everything else you apply. Enriched with naturally sourced, fermented Vitamin C, it boosts brightness while ensuring better absorption of every treatment that follows.
2. Active Radiance Serum
Our brightening powerhouse. With Bakuchiol (a natural retinol alternative), Songyi Mushroom, and Algae Bio-Actives, this serum helps even skin tone, soften pigmentation, and restore radiance without the sting of traditional brighteners. With consistent use, skin appears clearer, smoother, and more luminous week by week.
3. Glow Resurfacing Mask (1 to 3 x weekly)
This is your gentle reset button. Enzymes, sea silt bioferment, and algae actives dissolve dull surface build-up, refine texture, and enhance absorption of serums and moisturisers. The result: smoother, brighter skin without harsh scrubs. Even sensitive skin is left soft, fresh, and glowing after just one use.
4. Advanced Protective Serum (optional step)
Think of this as your shield. Packed with antioxidant-rich cherry, blueberry, and microalgae, it helps defend against everyday environmental stressors that worsen pigmentation and dullness supporting long-term resilience and glow. Over time, it helps preserve youthful suppleness and strengthens your skin’s natural defence system.

Let’s talk texture.
One of the first things people notice about our Collagen Boosting Hydration Cream is how different it feels. Silky, cushiony, and luxurious, a world apart from the water-based creams you’re used to.
So why does it feel this way?
Because it’s waterless. Instead of being diluted with water and fillers, our cream is made only with nutrient-rich oils, bio-actives, and extracts. The result? A texture that glides effortlessly across the skin, absorbs beautifully, and leaves behind lasting hydration, not that tight, fleeting feel water-based creams often give.
Powered by Collamung® Ferment
A biotech innovation from the humble mung bean, Collamung® Ferment is clinically proven to help stimulate collagen I production while soothing, moisturising, and strengthening the skin barrier.
Unlike harsh synthetic actives, this plant-derived ferment works gently yet effectively making it ideal for sensitive skin while still delivering visible firmness and bounce.
Apple + Argan stem cells, Desert Date oil high-performing botanicals for radiance & skin health.

Made without synthetic fragrance: what scent you get is from the raw botanicals themselves.
It’s skincare that feels indulgent, but more importantly, it’s packed with actives your skin will thank you for.

Biotech meets botanic.
Our Advanced Protective Serum harnesses sustainably cultivated algae extract with clinically proven results:
✨ Smoother skin +15%
✨ Improved glow +10%
✨ Firmer, toned complexion
When I created this serum, I wanted one product that would truly do it all; protect, hydrate, and deliver visible results without a single drop of synthetic filler. Our algae complex, grown sustainably, gives skin the healthy resilience we all crave and it’s kind even to the most sensitive skin. Agi x
